How to Attach a Decorative Scene to an Aquarium

Attaching a decorative scene is one of the fastest ways to transform a boring aquarium into something that can be the centerpiece of a room's decor. The scenes are printed on vinyl and attached to the outside of the aquarium. Unlike other decorative elements, you don't have to worry about how it will affect the pH balance inside the tank or how the fish will react to it. Scenes range from cartoons to exotic landscapes and can be replaced easily if you get tired of one.
